On page 2 of the November 2, 1878 edition of the Religio-Philosophical Journal, which you can read here, we have an account of strange orb events at a seance. Milton Allen of Chicago tells us this:
"One evening we observed a light of unusual size and brilliance forming, when to our astonishment, it darted to the table and rapped quickly, and sounded like a hard stone. It then moved away to the corner of the room and dissolved; but almost instantly it formed again, moved to the table swiftly and rapped as before. As it moved about and turned itself in all directions, we saw that it was oval in form and about as large as a goose egg—say five inches long, and three and half inches through. It was self-luminous and so intensely bright that it illuminated the top of the table so that we could see the sheet of paper and pencil lying on it when it moved near them. Pretty soon we observed something dark moving about on this wondrous ball of light, and directly we saw a finger, and then another, and then all four lingers of a hand moving over the ball. By request it moved about to each one of us so that we could examine it closely. The fingers were as perfectly formed as we ever saw and looked just as natural and life-like as the fingers of any of us sitting in the circle....
One evening there were two of these balls of light, one controlled by Miss M.’s father, and one controlled by Mrs. Allen’s mother. On this occasion we saw them forming in different parts of the room simultaneously and at least ten feet apart. They were very similar, one being a little larger than the other. The fingers were unlike; those on one ball being evidently a man’s fingers, and those on the other ball being the soft and rather fleshy fingers of a female. This last ball of light went to Mrs. Allen and rubbed her hand and arm and patted her on the head. Sometimes these lights would come together and touch each other and rap simultaneously on the table and then separate twelve to fifteen feet apart and dissolve in vapor and reform again."
